Any candidate who has to stoop to this level, knows they have absolutely no merits of his own to run on. If McConnell had anything to show the voters of his state that he has done over the past 30 years that is worthy of their vote, he would not have to stoop to this disgusting level.
People of Kentucky, if you return this vulture to the Senate, even though it has been clear for some time that the approval ratings you give the guy shows that you can’t stand him, then I do not know what else to call it, but blind, stupid racism because of who is President, and willful ignorance leading to you voting for someone who will do nothing to help you in any way.
There are laws against making an advertisement look like something from a government office. Sweepstakes used to do it all the time but not as much now as they got fined. Remember publishers clearing house? McConnell may be in trouble for this.
The problem is, our campaign laws are so full of holes, that I am sure that somewhere on that despicable mailer, McChinless made sure to include in teeny tiny print, some obscure wording that will keep him from getting in trouble. Our entire election process has been allowed to become a giant cesspool, where just about any underhanded trick, whether it be by a campaign, or by new voting laws is legal. We are becoming more like a third world country when it comes to elections every year, and soon it is going to take the UN coming in to watch over them.
Thanks so much for posting that. I wanted to laugh, but it is so spot on about who the real terrorists are in this country that I couldn’t. I will have to share this one.
…because I figured he’d dust off the usual GOP late-game southern slur, an anonymous phone campaign talking about “Allison Lundergan Grimes’ black baby”.
A core value of Mitch McConnell is that it’s okay to use other people’s money to deceive other people. When conducted by those in government, that’s called brainwashing, or Mitch’s career.
The man is preening with doggies on tv, instead of working and doing his job! How long are the voters of Kentucky going to put up with the same result, Mitch’s hand in their pocket?
Imagine if, just once, a federal judge declared that the only relief for this violation was a redo of the election in the event McConnell wins. Yes, I know the SCROTUM would overturn any such decision, but it would still send a message.
At least there is a nice little stamp at the bottom stating that this is paid for by the Republican Party of Kentucky and approved by McConnell Senate Committee.
